Last Wish - a micro fiction very short story about dying and fulfilling a lifetime dream by Rob Hopcott

When my wife came right out and said she wanted to kill me, my first reaction was to laugh until I saw the automatic pistol in her hand.

I have to confess that I was pretty scared. Laura can be very single minded when she decides to do something. Today, apparently, she'd decided to kill me. No doubt she had her reasons but it didn't seem worth investigating them since it seemed clear she'd already made up her mind.

However, she'd always been such a giving person and there had always been a lifetime dream I wanted to fulfill before I died. So I asked her if she would mind me having this one last wish and grudgingly she agreed - as long as I didn't take too long.

I have to confess that having my hands tied behind my back and pulled close to my ankles with my face pressed against the floor was a bit uncomfortable but somehow I think it actually made my last wish even better than I expected.

By the time the explosion came, I didn't really mind dying any more - or anything.

The End
